In the eBay listings I saw, this was posted at the bottom: "Note All products provided on disc are either under a public domain licence or we hold a copyright permission or licence to distriubte the software. This item does not infringe any copyright, trade mark or any other rights or any of eBay's listing policies or spam policies. Items contained on this CD are under the terms of the GNU License, the GNU Lesser General Public Licences (LPGL) or the Mozilla Public Licence" As long as they make the source code available to those who ask, I fail to see what they're doing wrong legally or ethically.
